Void At The End Of Time

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) media franchise features many fictional elements including locations, weapons, and artifacts. While many of these features are based on elements that originally appeared in the American comic books published by Marvel Comics, some features were created specifically for the MCU.

Locations

Earth

* The , also known as the New Avengers Facility, is the primary base of operations of the Avengers in Upstate New York following the Battle of Sokovia. Originally a warehouse owned by Stark Industries used to store equipment, it is transformed into the new headquarters of the Avengers in 2015 before being destroyed by an alternate version of Thanos in 2023, with its ruins serving as the battleground for the subsequent Battle of Earth. The interior of the facility was digitally created by Method Studios in '' Avengers: Age of Ultron''. Porsche's headquarters at Aerotropolis Atlanta in Atlanta, Georgia doubled as the compound in '' Captain America: Civil War'' and '' Spider-Man: Homecoming'', with Trixter completely redesigning the facility for its appearance in ''Homecoming''.
* (based on the Marvel Comics location of the same name), formerly known as Stark Tower, is a skyscraper located in Manhattan, New York City. The building is originally owned by Stark Industries before serving as the headquarters of the Avengers until the Battle of Sokovia.

Destroyed versions of the building are seen in the Void as well as an alternate reality where Ultron defeats the Avengers. ''Avengers: Age of Ultron'' production designer Charles Wood built an enormous set for the film, one of the largest sets ever built for an MCU film, which featured multiple connected environments and levels.

* is an antique shop in Brooklyn, New York which served as a front for the Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR), where Dr. Abraham Erskine and Howard Stark worked on Project Rebirth. In 1943, Steve Rogers is selected to be injected with Erskine's Super Soldier Serum, but Hydra mole Heinz Kruger kills Erskine before attempting to escape from the shop. In 2010, the car chase scene in '' Captain America: The First Avenger'' was filmed on Dale Street in the Northern Quarter. Producers chose Manchester because of its resemblance to 1940s New York City with its high buildings dating from pre-WW2 and the site is a shortlisted UNESCO world heritage site.

Stark then leaves the town and begins flying back to the United States, but is intercepted by two F-22 Raptors sent by the U.S. Air Force. At the same time, James Rhodes calls Stark and informs him of the incident in Gulmira. Stark initially denies his involvement, claiming that he was "driving with the top down", but later confesses that he was wearing the Iron Man armor before narrowly escaping, prompting Rhodes to announce to the public that the incident was a "training exercise".
* The is the main headquarters of Hammer Industries, located in Queens, New York. In 2011, Justin Hammer invites Ivan Vanko to the base, hoping to work with him in order to take down his rival Tony Stark.

Designed to hold super-powered individuals, the prison is located deep in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

* The is a large aerial facility which acted as the primary base of the program of the same name, led by General Dreykov. It is also the site where Black Widows are brainwashed and trained to become elite assassins. It is destroyed in 2016 after Melina Vostokoff took down one of its engines. Visual effects for the facility in ''Black Widow'' were provided by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) and Digital Domain, who also worked on the final battle and skydiving sequences. Digital Domain referenced Soviet-era architecture, such as the Ostankino Tower in Moscow, when designing the Red Room, while the filmmakers hired military consultants to ensure the practicality of the facility.
* is a town in Tennessee where Tony Stark is forced to stay in after his armor ran out of power. It is also the hometown of Harley Keener, a child who aided Stark in repairing his suit and later attended his funeral. The fictional town is named after the city of the same name in North Carolina where portions of '' Iron Man 3'' were filmed.

* is a landlocked country in Eastern Europe, located between Slovakia and the Czech Republic. It is the home of Wanda and Pietro Maximoff, as well as Helmut Zemo. The United States initiated a bombing campaign against the country to stabilize and secure peace with Stark Industries-manufactured bombs, killing Wanda and Pietro Maximoff's parents. Additionally, Mary Walker and her U.S. Army squad were ambushed by the Sokovian Armed Forces, with almost all of them murdered. During the Hydra Uprising, Hydra sets up a research facility in Sokovia, where they conduct experiments on the Maximoff twins using Loki's scepter. The country later serves as the battleground for a conflict between the Avengers and Ultron, which results in the destruction of the country's capital city, Novi Grad, as well as the ratification of the Sokovia Accords. The country is annexed by the surrounding countries soon after. Scenes set in the city were filmed in the Aosta Valley region in Italy in ''Avengers: Age of Ultron'', in which local storefronts were replaced with Cyrillic script. Hendon Police College, a training facility for London's Metropolitan Police Service was also used to portray a city in Sokovia.
* The is the residence of Tony Stark, Pepper Potts, and their daughter, Morgan Stark. Located in the countryside of Upstate New York, it is built by Tony Stark shortly after his marriage with Potts, and he lived there until his death in 2023. His funeral is also held in front of his residence.

The compound includes a throne room, training grounds for its warriors, a library housed with relics of Ta Lo, a dungeon, and an underground parking lot. After Xialing assumes leadership of the Ten Rings, she redecorates the compound with graffiti reminiscent of her Golden Dagger Club.

* The (based on the Marvel Comics location of the same name) is a compound located on Little Island south of the Theodore Roosevelt Island at the foot of the Roosevelt Bridge which acted as the main base of operations for S.H.I.E.L.D.. The base is taken over by Hydra during their uprising from within S.H.I.E.L.D. in order to use three weaponized Helicarriers to kill people they deem to be threats. It is later destroyed by a disabled Helicarrier. While most shots of Washington, D.C. in '' Captain America: The Winter Soldier'' were digitally created due to numerous flight restrictions in the city, aerial footage of the city was used for live-action plate photography for shots which involved the Triskelion.
* Wakanda (based on the Marvel Comics location of the same name), officially the Kingdom of Wakanda, is a highly advanced African nation that formerly posed as a struggling third world country before it is opened up to the world by T'Challa. Its capital city is Birnin Zana, also known as the Golden City. The main language is Xhosa, though its civilians also speak English. It consists of lush river valleys, mountain ranges rich in natural resources, and a capital city that integrates space-age technology with traditional designs. Wakanda consists of six tribes: the Golden Tribe, the River Tribe, the Mining Tribe, the Merchant Tribe, the Border Tribe, and the Jabari Tribe. The country has been noted for its Afrofuturism, with the country cited as a possible example of how African nations might have developed in the absence of European colonialism.
* is a town in New Jersey. Prior to the Blip, a plot of land in the town is purchased by the Vision and Wanda Maximoff, but the Vision is killed soon after by Thanos. When Maximoff arrives at the plot of land, she inadvertently creates an anomaly around the town, placing almost all of its inhabitants under mind control, transforming objects on a molecular level, and broadcasting a sitcom titled '' WandaVision''. Dubbed "the Hex" by Darcy Lewis, Monica Rambeau gains superhuman abilities after passing through the barrier three times, while simulacrums of Billy Maximoff, Tommy Maximoff, and the Vision are created. When Agatha Harkness attacks Maximoff, she destroys the boundary, the residents escape, and Wanda's children and Vision disintegrate. The town was named as a reference to Feige's hometown of Westfield, New Jersey, but with the initials "W" and "V".

Space

* is an ice planet which is commonly visited by the Ravagers as a place to relax, especially at the Iron Lotus brothel. Sometime in 2014, Stakar Ogord comes across Yondu on Contraxia, while Howard the Duck also appears in the bar. A set for the Iron Lotus was built at Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, which ''Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2'' production designer Scott Chambliss sought to make it appear to have been put together from "repurposed junk", creating a "neon jungle" covered in ice and snow.
* (based on the Marvel Comics location of the same name) is a living mass of matter that the Celestial Ego formed around himself thousands of years ago, causing him to resemble a large red planet with a face. The planet is destroyed by a bomb planted by the Guardians of the Galaxy in Ego's brain, and is also destroyed by Ultron in an alternate reality. Visual effects of the planet in ''Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2'' were provided by Animal Logic, Method Studios, and Weta Digital. Weta and Animal Logic's work were heavily based on fractal art, including Apollonian gaskets and Mandelbulbs, and was described by director James Gunn as "the biggest visual effect of all time".
* The , also known as Planet 0259-S and Titan II, is a greenfield planet where Thanos resides following his "retirement". After fulfilling his lifelong goal of wiping out half of the Universe, he teleports to the planet and smiles at the sunrise as he reflects on his success. Three weeks later, the Avengers travel there and Thor decapitates him upon learning that he had destroyed the Infinity Stones.
* (based on the Marvel Comics location of the same name) is the severed head of an ancient deceased Celestial which acts as the homeworld of the Exitar mining colony, founded by the Collector. In 2014, the Guardians of the Galaxy arrive at Knowhere to sell the Power Stone to the Collector, but the museum is destroyed before Ronan's forces arrive. In 2018, Thanos attacks Knowhere and acquires the Reality Stone from Tivan before destroying the place.

Visual effects of the prison were created by Framestore.
* is a purple-hued moon that is destroyed by a nearby planet in the year 2077. Loki and Sylvie arrive on the moon through a Time Door, but are unable to escape due to their TemPad having run out of power. After failing to board an Ark to escape, they are rescued and recaptured by the TVA. ''Loki'' production designer Kasra Farahani opted to build an enormous practical set piece of the town Sharoo instead of utilizing Industrial Light & Magic (ILM)'s StageCraft technology, implementing a "blocky ziggurat language" and using black-light paint in order to distinguish it from other alien worlds in the MCU. Visual effects for the moon were provided by Digital Domain, who also considered making the planet "a lush world covered in greenery", one "dominated by massive oceans", and one containing a molten core which later implodes.
* is an abandoned ocean planet located in the Andromeda Galaxy, with its oceans only receding to expose its landmasses every 300 years. In 2014, Peter Quill arrives on the planet in order to obtain the Orb, a mission that is replicated by Star-Lord T'Challa in an alternate reality. In 2023, James Rhodes and Nebula time-travel to 2014 Morag and knock Peter Quill out before acquiring the Orb. Visual effects of the planet in '' Guardians of the Galaxy'' were created by Moving Picture Company (MPC).
* (based on the Marvel Comics location of the same name) is a planet ruled by the Grandmaster, who holds his Contest of Champions on the planet. Notable visitors include Bruce Banner, Thor, and Loki. The planet is destroyed by Ultron in an alternate reality. The art of Thor co-creator Jack Kirby served as one of the primary inspirations for Sakaar's depiction in '' Thor: Ragnarok'', and was described by executive producer Brad Winderbaum as "the toilet of the Universe" surrounded by an endless number of wormholes. A set for the planet was constructed at the Village Roadshow Studios in Oxenford, Queensland, including the Grandmaster's palace and the surrounding junkyard. Visual effects for the planet's junkyard landscape and wormholes were created by Double Negative and Digital Domain. A Sakaarian national anthem is featured in an unused version of the second post-credits scene of ''Ragnarok'', which was improvised by Jeff Goldblum and Waititi.
* The is an asteroid field inhabited by the Chitauri which acts as the domain of Thanos, where he gives orders to The Other and Ronan. Visual effects of the location were created by Digital Domain in ''The Avengers''.
* The is an amalgamation of planets artificially fused together which serves as the homeworld to the genetically-engineered species of the same name. Powered by Anulax Batteries, it is ruled by Ayesha. The amalgamation is destroyed by Ultron in an alternate reality. Visual effects for Ayesha's lair in ''Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2'' were provided by Framestore, while Luma Pictures worked on the Sovereign world and its people. A set for the planet was also built at Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, which employed a "1950s pulp fiction variation on 1930s art deco design aesthetic".
* (based on the Marvel Comics location of the same name) is an exoplanet and the homeworld of Thanos before its inhabitants were wiped out from overpopulation. In 2018, Tony Stark, Stephen Strange, and Peter Parker ally with the Guardians of the Galaxy to confront Thanos, who acquires the Time Stone following a battle and teleports to Wakanda. In the Earth-838 dimension, the Illuminati kill Thanos on Titan, and then kill that universe's version of Stephen Strange after he is corrupted by the ''Darkhold''.

Scenes set on the planet in ''Guardians of the Galaxy'' were filmed at Millennium Bridge, London, while visual effects were done by Moving Picture Company (MPC).

Nine Realms

* (based on the Marvel Comics location of the same name) is a small, flat planetary body and the home of the Asgardians. It is destroyed by Surtur. Double Negative embedded a computer-generated rendering of Asgard onto footage of the coast of Norway filmed with an Arri Alexa camera in a helicopter in '' Thor: The Dark World''. For its appearance in '' Thor: Ragnarok'', production designer Dan Hennah sought to give the realm "more of a humanity" than in previous films by adding smaller building perspectives, making it appear more practical and utilitarian. A set for the realm was constructed at the Village Roadshow Studios in Oxenford, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, based on the aesthetics of previous ''Thor'' films, while visual effects were provided by Framestore based on assets Double Negative had from ''The Dark World''.
** The is a long magical bridge that runs from the center of Asgard to the edge, connecting the Royal Palace of Valaskjalf to Himinbjörg, the generator of the Bifröst Bridge. In 2011, the Rainbow Bridge is destroyed by Thor, but is later repaired by Heimdall using the power of the Tesseract.
** , also known as Odin's treasure room, is a room in the Royal Palace of Valaskjalf that contained many powerful and magical artifacts, including a replica of the Infinity Gauntlet, the Eternal Flame, the Casket of Ancient Winters, and the Tesseract.
* (based on the Marvel Comics location of the same name) is a region in Niflheim that serves as the home of the dead. After Hela is banished there by her father, Odin, she attempts to escape and slaughters almost all of the Valkyrie, only to be defeated by Odin once again. The flashback sequence in ''Thor: Ragnarok'' featuring the Valkyrie was produced by Rising Sun Pictures, who achieved its surreal ethereal appearance through a combination of motion capture, computer graphics, a 900 fps frame rate, and a special 360-degree lighting rig containing 200 strobe lights.
* (based on the Norse mythological location of the same name) is an icy planet that is home of the Frost Giants and the birthplace of Loki. Visual effects for the planet were created by Digital Domain in '' Thor'', who were sent paintings from classic studies by J. M. W. Turner by director Kenneth Branagh.

Two years following the Battle of Sokovia, Thor journeys there to confront Surtur on Ragnarök before killing him. ''Thor: Ragnarok'' production designer Dan Hennah described the realm as a Dyson sphere which draws power out of a dying star to energize its inhabitants.
* (based on the Norse mythological location of the same name) is an Alderson disk surrounding a dying star, inhabited by gigantic Dwarves who served as blacksmiths for the Asgardians, forging weapons such as Mjölnir, Stormbreaker, and the Infinity Gauntlet out of uru. Sometime between 2014 and 2015, Thanos visits the forge, forcing the Dwarves to make the Infinity Gauntlet before slaughtering them and smelting Eitri's hands. Thor, Groot, and Rocket visit the forge several years later, aiding Eitri in creating Stormbreaker.

* (based on the Norse mythological location of the same name), also known as the Dark World, is a planet that is wreathed in perpetual darkness and ruled by the Dark Elves, led by Malekith the Accursed.

Subsequent scenes in the film were shot in Iceland, with Double Negative adding ruins, mountains, Dark Elf ships, and skies.

Multiverse

Dimensions

* The (based on the Marvel Comics location of the same name), also known as the Astral plane, is a dimension in which the soul resides outside the body. It is mainly featured in the form of astral projection in ''Doctor Strange'' when the Ancient One pushes Stephen Strange's astral form out of his body. The fight sequence in ''Doctor Strange'' between Stephen Strange and a Zealot's astral forms was the first scene in the film written by director Scott Derrickson, who was inspired by the comic '' Doctor Strange: The Oath''. Visual effects for scenes set in the dimension were provided by Framestore, who described the process as "one of the hardest effects hey'vehad to deal with". This imagery is reused in '' Avengers: Endgame'', '' WandaVision'', '' Spider-Man: No Way Home'', and '' Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness''. The Astral Dimension is also connected to the MCU's afterlife, which is interpreted as being a subjective reality depending on the belief system of the individual. In ''Black Panther'', the Ancestral Plane is a location where deceased Wakandans reside, specifically those who have worn the mantle of Black Panther. The living are able to communicate with these past rulers upon ingestion of the heart-shaped herb. In ''Moon Knight'', the Duwat is the name for the Egyptian perspective of the afterlife, where the goddess Taweret ferries Marc Spector and Steven Grant across an ocean of sand to reach the Field of Reeds. If a person's heart does not balance against the Feather of Truth, they are consumed by other lost souls in the sands. Spector and Grant make it back to the real world through the Gates of Osiris.

* The is a castle atop an asteroid at the end of time where He Who Remains resides and watches over the Sacred Timeline, which orbits the place. Carved '' in situ'' from the asteroid and made a "black stone with gold vein embellishments", the Citadel is mostly abandoned except for He Who Remains' office, with ''Loki'' production designer Kasra Farahani intending to reflect the loneliness of He Who Remains. Outside his office, there are also numerous 13-foot-tall statues of "sentinels of time" in the "Hall of Heroes", each holding half of an hourglass. A nebula outside the window and a fireplace were used as light sources in office. The design and architecture of the Citadel was inspired by Hearst Castle and compared to Sunset Boulevard.
* The (based on the Marvel Comics location of the same name) is a timeless dimension inhabited by Dormammu. It is an amalgamation of itself and all other dimensions Dormammu had conquered and absorbed into it. Stephen Strange visits it to bargain with Dormammu after Kaecilius contacts it to absorb the Earth. Visual effects of the dimension in ''Doctor Strange'' were provided by Method Studios and Luma Pictures. ''Doctor Strange'' visual effects supervisor Stephane Ceretti described the Dark Dimension as a "dynamic environment", with the Luma team using art by Steve Ditko as a reference.
* The is a dimension which causes the surroundings to be reflected in different directions, similar to the function of a mirror, without affecting the real world. Due to its nature, it is used by the sorcerers for training and controlling threats. The Ancient One utilizes it during the Battle of New York, while Stephen Strange utilizes it against Kaecilius, Thanos, Peter Parker, and Wanda Maximoff. According to ''Doctor Strange'' director Scott Derrickson, the action sequences set in the dimension is an attempt to take '' Inception'' "to the Nth degree and take it way more surreal and way farther". Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) was primarily responsible for visual effects of the Manhattan folding sequence, which consisted of 200 shots and was mainly CGI, although some real-life shots of New York were used. Meanwhile, Luma Pictures worked on the first mirror sequence at the beginning of the film.
* The (based on the Microverse from the Marvel Comics) is a minuscule dimension that only can be entered through subatomic particles. It was where Janet van Dyne was stranded for thirty years before being rescued. Scott Lang is also stranded there for five years, although he only experienced five hours in the realm; the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. later use it to time travel in order to reverse the Blip and defeat the Chronicoms, respectively. The Quantum Realm was named as such because it could not be called "Microverse" due to the Microverse being associated to the Micronauts, whose rights are held by Hasbro Studios. Quantum physicist and California Institute of Technology staff researcher Spiros Michalakis suggested the new name. Visual effects for the dimension in '' Ant-Man'', ''Doctor Strange'', and '' Ant-Man and the Wasp'' were provided by Method Studios.
* The (based on the Marvel Comics location of the same name), also known as the Way Station, is a pocket dimension inside the Soul Stone where Thanos finds himself in for a brief moment after he snapped his fingers and wiped out half of the Universe's population, where he encountered a young Gamora. Christopher Markus, co-writer of ''Avengers: Endgame'', also stated that Banner met the Hulk in the Soul World. The Soul World was originally also going to be visited by Tony Stark in a deleted scene of ''Avengers: Endgame'', where he would have met an older version of his daughter Morgan.
* (based on Ta-Lo from the Marvel Comics) is a mystical heavenly realm inhabited by Chinese mythological creatures, such as dragons (including the Great Protector), '' fenghuang'', '' shishi'', ''hundun'' (including Morris), '' huli jing'', and '' qilin''. Thousands of years ago, the Dweller-in-Darkness attacked the realm, but was sealed away by the people of Ta Lo and the Great Protector in the Dark Gate. Ta Lo can be accessed from Earth through a portal located in China, which is protected by an enchanted bamboo forest which can be safely traversed through on the first day of the Qingming Festival. In an interview, '' Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings'' director Destin Daniel Cretton expressed excitement in further exploration of the realm in the future. Due to the enormity and complexity of the landscape, much of the village and its surrounding jungle in the film was digitally created by Rising Sun Pictures, who studied forested locations in Vietnam and Indonesia for inspiration and compiled a vast library of bamboo and other plants. Meanwhile, visual effects for the various mythological creatures were provided by Trixter, with some audiences confusing them with characters from ''Pokémon'' in early screenings.
